Today is my son's 4th birthday...seriously...I don't even KNOW where the time went!

To celebrate we're having a GOONIES PARTY tomorrow! FUN right? It was his request, and after about 2 weeks of me suggesting alternative (i.e. easier to plan) party themes, I decided I better just embrace it and get crackin'! We LOVE the GOONIES around here...I'll be sharing more later (LOTS MORE)...but for now...here's a little SNEAK PEEK...

Meet CAKE POPSLOTH! Just one of many YUMMY treats that will be making an appearance :)

Sometimes, Cake Pops leak oil...mine do rarely...and when they do I remove the oil and patch the hole...but NOT on this guy! LOL! It was too perfect....like a sad little "Sloth LOVE Chunk!" teardrop :)

The tags are PERFECT and are the work of Squared Party Printables. She created a whole PARTYPACKAGE using the GOONIES theme!

One of my absolute FAVORITE things about summer is...wait for it....ICE CREAM! Duh...right? We make weekly trips to our local Dairy Queen...and it was during one of those recent visits that I had the MOSTAMAZING brain wave ;)

I love, as-in {LOVE} Crunch Cones from the DQ. I hope you know what I'm talking about, but sadly...I've come to learn that Crunch Coat topping is not a staple topping item at ALL DQs...this is a TRAVESTY! No..JOKE! If you are lucky enough to have experienced Crunch Coat firsthand...then you KNOW what the big deal is.

I've loved Crunch Coat since I was a little girl...it's a delicious peanut-brittle-like, sprinkle mixture...you can add it to sundaes, blizzards, on top of cones...or one of my personal faves...use it as a dip for your Dilly Bars (Cherry is BEST)...really...I think it would be good on just about anything...and YES...I do mean ANYTHING!

Naturally...since I often think in terms of CUPCAKES....I thought, what could be better than topping some yummy, simple VANILLA CUPCAKES with a heaping coat of CRUNCH topping??? The end result was FRICKIN' FANTASTIC! I'm not trying to toot my own horn here...but you know when they say that simple ideas are the BEST ideas? Well this would be a PERFECT example of that....SWEET, SIMPLE, DELICIOUSNESS!
